Excuses Jeremiah 1

EXCUSES Jeremiah 1 4 Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying: 5 “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; Before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations.” 6 Then said I: “Ah, Lord God! Behold, I cannot speak, for I am a youth.”

1. The Excuse: The task is Demanding Jeremiah was called to be "a prophet to the nations" (Jer. 1:5) God’s Call: “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; Before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations.” Jeremiah’s Excuse: “Ah, Lord God! Behold, I cannot speak, for I am a youth.” The Promise "I chose you before I formed you in the womb; I set you apart before you were born'" (Jer. 1:5).

2. The Excuse: My Talent is Inadequate "But I protested, ‘Oh no, Lord, GOD! Look, I don't know how to speak since I am only a youth’” (Jer. 1:6). The Promise "Then the LORD reached out His hand, touched my mouth, and told me: I have now filled your mouth with My words" (Jer. 1:9).

3. The Excuse: The Time is Not Right Jeremiah said to God, "I am only a youth" (Jer. 1:6). The Promise "Then the LORD said to me: Do not say, ‘I am only a youth,' for you will go to everyone I send you to and speak whatever I tell you. Do not be afraid of anyone, for I will be with you to deliver you. This is the LORD's declaration" (Jer. 1:7-8).

4. The Excuse: The Teaching is Dangerous "Again the word of the LORD came to me inquiring, ‘What do you see?' And I replied, ‘I see a boiling pot, its lip tilted from the north to the south’” (Jer. 1:13). The Promise "Today, I am the One who has made you a fortified city, an iron pillar, and bronze walls against the whole land - against the kings of Judah, its officials, its priests, and the population. They will fight against you but never prevail over you, since I am with you to rescue you" (Jer. 1:18-19).

5. The Excuse: Do I Have to Go Now? God was expecting immediate action from Jeremiah. God said, "Now, get ready. Stand up and tell them everything that I command you" (Jer. 1:17). The Promise "Do not be intimidated by them or I will cause you to cower before them" (Jer. 1:17).
